Day 1 Night

[12npcs]

[ Over the murmur of conversations, explorations and violent attempts at escape, there comes a sound tick tick tick tick tick.............. CLICK.... The sky above snaps across the dome from blue to black... and everything goes dark.

A glow comes from the front door of each of the inns and one by one, you can see street lanterns begin to light up steadily past each of the gates.

The only flickering, organic light comes from above in the tower, spluttering high, high above everyone, through the slats of the closed shutters. After a moment, it's gone. ]

[ oh good idea. he watches the others go first before he speaks up. ]

Only clothing for equipment, but I am an expert lockpick.

[freckledninja]

Don't forget your nerd senses.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

Also highly useful, but less immediately relevant. Unless there's been a murder I've not heard about yet?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[freckledninja]

Uh no but can't you deduce where the secret exits are or something?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

That would require them to exist in the first place.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[devotedtothecore]

A lockpick? ...what would you need for basic tool?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

Very little, although a torsion wrench and a half-diamond pick would be highly useful.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[devotedtothecore]

... the latter might be salvaged from some other part...

[ ccconsidering ]

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

With thin enough metal and the proper tools, I could certainly make nearly all of the picks.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

...

[ are you an actual thief by vocation. are you perhaps the number one suspect here ]

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

[ he is kind of ratty looking ... ]

I am also very fond of beekeeping, but I imagine those talents will be less relevant.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ ....no it would probably be unfair to judge based on that, I have a lot of ratty looking friends..... ]

...it's a point to remember regardless, in the event it should turn out otherwise.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

Hope springs eternal.

[ glancing him over ]

Did he survive?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[devotedtothecore]

[ ---blinks ]

H--- Pardon?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

The young man you rescued from a burning building.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[thisisace]

Huh. Now, if we were trapped in here by a locked door, we'd be in luck.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

There may be locked doors yet, given we already have one set of keys.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[thisisace]

If we've got the key, we don't need anything picked, right?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

You believe these keys will open every door we come across?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[thisisace]

How many doors do you think we're gonna come across? I thought we were kinda stuck just in this area.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

For now.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[thisisace]

How long do you think they'll keep us trapped? It shouldn't take long for them to figure out we haven't got their heart thing.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

You are severely underestimating the ability of people to see only what they wish to see.

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[thisisace]

What do you think we should do, then?

Re: [ Swordings and Shieldings and Spearings, oh my ]

[beeductionist]

At this precise moment? Explore and then rest.
